Hi! I always enjoyed following small riverbends meandering among the trees of the endless jungles, hoping to find something remarkable. And now I succeeded again. Just have given up signing longer path of the small river when suddenly spotted a red dot (or call it a 'globe' following your nomenclature) laying on the top of the tree canopy. Many interesting things around the planet and GE -an exceptional tool- to explore. By using layers, time slider, ruler, etc. one can investigate their findings, but also has to be very careful with their eyes, with statements on what exactly can be seen on imagery. These are can be anything. Since no better resolution, we can not say anything even about their exact shape. In the most interesting case these are some living entites (birds for example). If it were situated in a less remote place these are also could be smaller objects with different intense color (trash, soccer balls, t-shirts, globes,...). Ending (and this is most common with various types) these can be glitches, smaller errors in satellite/aerial imagery. (imaging data process error, stain on lens, etc.) If you will hang around for a longer period of time here, you will see more interesting dots, strange lines and misterious circles from every corner of the globe with no further explanation. So, answering your question: Yes, you have definitely found a possible globe floating there. Now up to find something, that exactly what it is!(: Welcome to the community Ramon! Keep your eyes open! Best! g The Red Dot.kmz (714 B)

There is a circular bright and a curvy shadow underneath. It could be a camera glitch. Is it possible that there is something flying and its shadow is on the river below?

The river is filled with sediment and looks like it is even overflowing its banks. The dot is most likely a poorly resolved bit of debris floating on the river. It could also be a misbehaving pixel from the satellite imagery, like the red pixel pointed out in syzygy's post. Somewhere in the vast collection of the original GEC (OGEC) is a thread about scattered mis-colored pixels in the same area of Brazil. Maybe I can find it in a search. If so I'll link to it here.

Thanks for replay.
I do not think it's a camera anomaly, I found this type of circles in several areas of the Amazon with differents sizes and in in groups sometimes (sorry but I am no save the locations).
